Linear Motion: Vector Quantities
Flashcards do conjunto (10)
- 1Vector QuantityA quantity with both magnitude and direction
- 2Examples of Vector QuantitiesDisplacement, velocity, force, acceleration, magnetic flux density, momentum, electric field strength
- 3DisplacementDistance in a given direction
Measured in metres - 4VelocityThe rate of change of displacement with respect to time
Measured in metres per second - 5Formula for Average Velocity(u + v)/2
- 6AccelerationRate of change of velocity with respect to time
Measured in metres per second squared - 7Formula for Acceleration(Change in velocity) / (time taken)
a = (v - u)/t - 8Adding Co-linear VectorsSame direction - add magnitudes, use same direction
Opposite direction - subtract magnitudes, use direction of larger vector - 9Triangle LawThe resultant of two perpendicular vectors is equal to the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle formed by the two vectors placed "tip to tail"
- 10Resolving vectorsA vector can be resolved into two perpendicular component vectors
